Re: I love not being Apostolic!!!
Well, I am getting a bit sick with being called an Apostolic.
I keep asking "ministers of the TRUTH" questions like, what did the 'other' Judas teach concerning the resurrection? Or, what did Bartholomew teach on heaven and hell? Or, what did Andrew teach on fear? Mostly all I get are blank stares.
Except for a hand full of proof texts, they have no clue what the apostles actually taught, and they are dogmatic in their ignorance. They would rather read some organizational document, or a book by a church leader than to study the Bible for what God is saying. /Sigh/ Does anyone know for sure what Matthew taught on forgiveness and love?

Amen Brother.
Ask a person what is an apostolic and many will know them by dress and hair and NOT by what the Apostles actually taught. Apostolic identity for women is based on one scripture in I Cor 11 concerning long hair. There is so much more to women and their identity in Christ than hair.

Re: I love not being Apostolic!!!
I love being me - a non-apostolic, believer in God. He loves me the way I am too.

Lay down the shackles of LEGALISM! Stop the mental gymnastics trying to make the Bible say something that YOU KNOW it doesn't say!
His yoke is easy and His burden is light. Enter into the rest of the Lord!

Love you bro, but this doesnt seem like liberty.

Dumber than the "I Love Being Apostolic" thread?
